  • Publication number: 20200240263
    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering detailed information about physical properties, including inflow data, in a downhole of a well to the surface without the need of providing cabling to the downhole are presented. Such information can be based on data captured by sensors placed within the downhole of the well, and subsequently stored into memory of ruggedized buoyant memory modules (RBMMs) that are physically injected into the fluid flow of the well. The RBMMs use the flow of the fluid inside of the well to deliver the data to a location where the data can be extracted. Data stored in the RBMMs can be extracted either directly from the RBMMs or remotely via, for example, a wireless interface.

  • Patent number: 10677706
    Abstract: A workflow to optimize a fracturing fluid for injection into a subterranean formation is provided. The workflow comprises measurement of fundamental properties and characteristics of reservoir rock and fluid, their interaction with fracturing fluid, computer-based models and laboratory performance testing to select preferred fracturing base fluid and additives package for use in fracturing/re-fracturing stimulation of specific shale formations to enhance hydrocarbon recovery.
    Type: Grant
